The ignorant do not annihilate the Karma (filth attached to the soul) through action (with attachment). The wise annihilate the Karma through non-action (action without attachment). The wise have gone away from greed and pride and the contented do not perpetrate vice. There is fear from every side in the life of the spiritually unawakened.But there is no fear from any side in the life of the spiritually awakened. Pleasure does not occur with indolence; learning is not possible with sleepy dispositon; detachment does not remain with attachment; and compassionateness does not go with injury to beings. O men ! keep always awake. The intellect of the awakened sharpens. He who sleeps (ignores spiritual values) does not become happy, (but he who always wakes (adheres to spiritual values) becomes happy. In drawing things near to himself, in putting them down, in getting rid of excreta, in staying at one place, in moving about and in lying down the perosns (desirous of spiritual advancement) should always be compassionate, careful in regard to Jivas (beings) and non-injurious to them.
